My family's stay was great at this house. We had plenty of room for all of the children with a nice big backyard and fun amenities. The home was clean and the host was very responsive! This home comfortably fit our family of 14. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a great place, had plenty of space for the whole family. It was very quiet for my son to relax after his graduation. The host was very responsive and very helpful with hints on things to do.
